Hard Water and Tankless Water Heaters

On-Demand or Tankless Water Heaters are becoming increasingly popular in Colorado. They are far more efficient than standard water heaters that continually use energy to keep a large tank of water hot. Instead, they quickly heat water as needed when you turn on the hot tap.

The problem comes when we start combining On-Demand or Tankless Water Heaters with the harsh effects of Hard Water. Scaly calcium builds up on heating coils causing more service calls and breakdowns. Depending on your model, indicator lights come on to let you know of the problem but along the way you have decreased efficiency, damages and even failure of your expensive water heater. And to top it off; these breakdowns likely won’t be covered by a warranty.
